Tooth Movement

When you are missing one or more teeth, the surrounding teeth begin to shift and become misaligned. When your teeth become misaligned this can throw your bite (how your teeth fit together) off. This is called malocclusion. When your bite is off it can lead to certain problems such as teeth and restorations chipping, breaking or cracking, teeth wearing down, sore or sensitive teeth, receding gums and/or further tooth loss.
